Postman: Rant or Reason?

Postman: roar or rationality. In his novel "self recreation", the author Neil Postman details in detail the direct and future dangers of television. Discussion began in a logical way and first explained the difference between today's media-driven society and yesterday's "print America".

This is Neil Postman 2, Technology Monopoly: Cultural Technology Surrender, 20 3, 4 Neil Postman, Technology Concentration: Cultural Investment Technology, 23 5 6 Neil Postman, Technopolis: Cultural Surrender Technology, 28 7 Neal Postman, Technopolis: In survey not only in the field of science, but also in the field of religious beliefs, surrender from culture to technology, 15 inventions, led to many discussions and trials.

In 1992 before the spread of the Internet, American cultural critic Neil Postman wrote a short story called "technology monopoly: culture to surrender technology". Postal delivery believes that our modern technical concepts are dangerously distorted. Instead of developing new technologies to achieve official goals, we are beginning to make technology progress our own goals. Without a strong cultural and political background to judge what to invent and its reasons, in the face of a powerful new technology that works according to our own logic, our civic culture and democracy We can weaken the principle. Postman warns that we may start adapting to our invention needs quickly rather than inventing to satisfy our needs.

One of my favorite books is Neol Postman's Technopoly, Technology to Technology to Technology. Postman describes his so-called technical requirements. What does it mean to me: New technology to add convenience can not be stopped, regardless of the impact on our long-term quality of life. It happens in the car. After enthusiasm, several suspicious results appeared. This includes twice the percentage of revenue from shipping; moving the city faster than horse riding or off-road vehicles; sometimes overwhelmed as it is about to flood coastal cities. Our bodies are suffering from a cruel soul; our bodies are being humiliated by the inactivity of convenient walking exclusion; 40 000 Americans are killed each year. These are not planned, the technology won, it wins again
